The Conselleria de Sanidad Universal y Salud Pública has designed a pilot project to start with the green transition in the health sector. This will allow, among other things, to reduce the CO2 footprint of Valencian hospitals. In fact, last November 24 a forum was held in Valencia with eleven hospitals that will join this pilot program. These hospitals already have their CO₂ footprint calculated in order to reduce it. 

 

The event also addressed the issues of sustainable healthcare, the effects of climate change on health, and the need to draw up actions to reduce the carbon footprint of the healthcare system. 

 

For the time being, the hospitals participating in the Valencian program are the following: Sant Vicent del Raspeig, Sagunt, Elche, Marina Baixa, Requena, Sant Joan, Alcoy, Castelló, Elda, Doctor Peset and Gandia.
